Dear Readers, Welcome to Miss Caribbean UK magazine. Each quarter we bring you latest news and updates regarding the Miss Caribbean UK 2017 pageant. Miss Caribbean United Kingdom was set up as an event to promote all the different Caribbean countries under one umbrella. The event uses a pageant to promote, educate, inspire and celebrate the historical and cultural impact of the Caribbean within the United Kingdom. The MCUK organisers, Clayton and Jacqui Brown, have expressed that: “We want to be a vehicle, to assist in bringing the Caribbean and its diaspora within the UK, closer. We want the old and younger generation Caribbean descendants to recognise the influence and impact that the Caribbean Diaspora has had on UK culture and thus, appreciate the importance of retaining the link with their Caribbean heritage.” To facilitate this objective MCUK holds heats across the UK. To date we have held heats and created contacts with BAME communities in; Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Luton, Leicester and London.
